of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron."

Briljant..... perfect atmosphere...

Not so much. I cleaned up some of the light trails in PS and the cloud was illuminated by that single flash of lightning. The wind was pretty strong and I could only wedge the camera on top of a folded up raincoat and hope it stayed steady enough.

Wow, totally phenomenal. I am frightened for you. I am going to show you a Turner painting so you can see what I meant about your "golden" picture from the other day!! (only maybe it was from a fire not a storm, oh well, similar effects)
